Look at how beefy that B&W Hitch looks. Now how can anyone in their right mind tell me the Andersen Ultimate can rate the same?

Thanks for all the pics!

Thanks for the offer but unless I get snowed in heading from Indio, CA to RapidCity SD and back to WA I will be there to pick it up.

Anyone have experience traveling that route?

Anderson bases their rating on a compression test. In a wreck I think the trailer would rip it in to and come right through the truck cab. SNOKING

I completely agree.

They are craftsman shop vacs. "Develops" 6hp!

I just cannot understand why anyone would want any 5th hooks, GN are far superior in every category, I've been pulling this any even heavier equipment trailers With GN for over 25 years, all 5ers do is cloud up your truck bed and add $$$ and weight, Suck to get out and store. I know some trailer manufactures required them But I stay away form them.

They are fine if frame mfg will warranty with gooseneck adapter

Stab: did you do the install? Curious about details...Looks great. Picking up my new 3500 with air ride Saturday!

Everything about this trk will be self install! UNTIL warranty, God forbid!
We're on the road. I'll try to get more details later...
Truck performing flawlessly! Avrg 9 mpg according to EVIC.

If they were a good thing for 5th wheel trailers, then the manufacturers would ship them that way. The fact is the RV frame is not built like a goose neck trailer frame! And I do not want to hump the trailer the additional height to clear a gooseneck ball!!!

Was it a true manufacturer option? Or a dealer option?

All the dealers I have talked to will add the adapter prior to delivery, but they skirt the issue when you ask about warranty.

GN are superior in many ways, but the RV industry uses 5er hitches due to ease of hookup.

One of the reasons we ended up not getting a toy hauler was we couldn't find a 4 season toy hauler that would allow us to run a GN hitch, as none of the companies we looked at have the frame strength for it. The only one we found was a Balboa, but they are overpriced and the bed area is 36" tall.

Then I guess I'm Special, BC that trailer was pulled with GN, BC I went to IN and pulled it Home. The seller may have taken care of this as a favor to Me, None the less I demanded GN and that what I got.

What date did you order yours? Ordered mine 12/2 and it won't be here for another week.

Picked up my 3500 SRW Saturday - the adjustable rear air is quite nice. Ride is nice - it's firm, but it's a 3500. Very pleased so far. I ordered mine on 12/22 - don't be mad! I'm in Arkansas...maybe that has something to do with it. You're patience will pay off...amazing truck. Glad to be back in a CTD again!

Sorry, try this...its dirty. I'll post some better pics soon.

Horseman-AR that is a sharp truck. I like the colors. Do the mirrors fold in automatic or do you manually have to fold them in.

mirrors are power folding, but you have to press the button between the left and right mirror adjustment buttons to get them to fold in or out.

Looks like you lucked out. I read they have suspended the air ride on 3500 SRW orders.

Nice looking truck! Love the belt buckles on the doors.
